So here’s a fun thing that I hate

On By Luther M. SilerIn idiocy

When you open a file in Excel that someone has sent you through Outlook, hitting “save” doesn’t actually do anything unless you’ve first saved a copy locally using the Save As function. It doesn’t warn you that it’s not doing anything, either; it just assumes that button is there because it’s pretty and that you’re hitting it because you’re bored.

An hour of formatting and data collection, saved THREE TIMES during the process, lost, with no temp file to go back to. Fucking idiotic way to design software.

  1. I”ve set up a few drawings on Corel, only to have the program crash without ‘my’ hitting the save. . My problem is REMEMBERING to hit save BEFORE I take on another new step. Corel doesn’t like certain commands and will crash at the worst possible times. Either way, I feel your pain. 🙂
